Goodstart Early Learning Merriwa recognises and respects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People as the First Peoples of Australia and the Whajuk peoples as the Custodians of the Land, on which our early childhood services are offered. Goodstart Merriwa is committed to maintaining partnerships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples that are built on trust, respect and recognition. We will respect and value the cultural insights we gain as we establish strong links between Goodstart and the children, families and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities whom we work with and to create high quality early years learning experiences for all children. Goodstart Merriwa commits to reconciliation between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australian's in closing the gap in education outcomes, promoting equality and equity for all.
